GLENCOE/GARROW RESTORATION WORKS

The following feedback was received from the City of Port Moody in the third week of July:

"The BC Hydro Feeder Line installation along Glenayre Drive, Glencoe Drive, Garrow Drive, and North Road is part of the Portwood development’s offsite work. Currently the roads have been left in a partially restored condition to allow the base to settles before doing permanent road restoration to the disturbed areas.

In terms of road restoration, here is a breakdown of what Portwood is required to do:

1) Glencoe Drive – mill and pave the eastbound lane with permanent restoration of the trench line from Glenayre Drive to Garrow Drive.

2) Garrow Drive – 'permanent restoration' of the trench line which includes expanding the milling and paving area to 200mm beyond the current trench cut. If the 200mm expansion is less than 1m from a curb, then the pavement restoration must go to that curb.

In terms of timing, the City has been pushing the developer to get the roadworks completed before the start of next school year to avoid any disruption to parents and children during school pick up and drop off times. The developer is currently (in the third week in July) reviewing quotes for the required work and is hoping to begin the restoration within the next few weeks.

A few other items that will be taken care of are the pathway between 979-985 Garrow Drive and North Road, the landscaping restoration in that park area as well; reinstatement of any curbs or sidewalks that were damaged during the construction, restoration of any other areas [residential lawns?] that were damaged during construction. City staff will determine what was and wasn’t damaged during construction by comparing pre-construction photos to the current state of the area surrounding the BC Feeder Line."
